The many thousands of Americans who are standing up to say HELL NO to Trump’s lawless federal agents invading our communities are making a real difference. Republicans are finally joining calls for accountability. Greg Bovino was sent packing. Let’s make sure Kristi Noem is next. Your voice matters.
Noem lies. People die.
Not one more penny for ICE.

Voting by mail is safe and secure and makes participating in our democracy more accessible for millions of Americans. I’ll fight like hell to protect it.
HELL NO. This is a clear violation of the Constitution and a chilling look into the Administration’s plans to terrorize our communities.
Kristi Noem has to go. Now.
Horrific—another senseless execution of a citizen by Trump's lawless federal agents.
Federal agents are terrorizing communities in Minnesota, Oregon, and across the country.
Kristi Noem must go. Not one more penny for ICE.
Absolutely wrong. A family detained while seeking emergency medical care? ICE is sowing fear and terror in our communities. I’m closely monitoring this case and will work to make sure the family has access to a lawyer and is afforded due process.
Liam Ramos was kidnapped by ICE. This chilling photo represents the Trump Administration breaking every moral code.
We in Congress took an oath to serve our constituents and our Constitution. That means taking decisive action to rein in ICE.
Thank you to everyone who joined me for town halls in Yamhill, Polk, and Marion counties! Hearing directly from Oregonians is hugely important to the work I do on behalf of our state in Washington, D.C.
Instead of bringing down costs, Trump and his cronies want to rename the Department of Defense—a stunt that could cost taxpayers $125 MILLION.
An outrageous waste of money as families are being stretched to the limit everywhere from the doctor’s office to the grocery store.
More political retribution from Trump, the authoritarian strongman, and his crony Russ Vought. This is a blatant and dangerous abuse of power.
Trump does not care how many people he hurts to score cheap political points.

President Trump didn’t get a peace prize so now he’s threatening to start a war.

69-22, Americans feel utility costs going up. They are. Believe your own eyes.
Trump keeps inexpensive clean energy off the grid to pay off his big fossil fuel donors. It’s on purpose; a deliberate scam to make you pay more so his corrupt fossil fuel donors make more.

It's officially been one year of Trump breaking his campaign promises to the American people.
Here's what Trump's "America First" agenda looks like:
— Skyrocketing health care costs
— Biggest cut to Medicaid in history
— Higher costs under reckless tariffs
— Running Venezuela
Good to meet with Oregonians in Lane, Benton, and Linn counties for town hall conversations.
Thank you to everyone who came out, and to @repvalhoyle.bsky.social for joining me in Lane and @bynum.house.gov for joining me in Linn!
Thank you to everyone who came out to my town halls in Lincoln, Tillamook, and Clatsop counties on Saturday. Hearing directly from Oregonians about their ideas for making our state and our country a better place is crucial to the work I do in Congress.
Important conversations at town halls in Multnomah, Washington, and Columbia counties on Friday.
Thank you to everyone who came out and shared their thoughts with me on how we carry Oregon and our country forward.

Trump promised to lower costs on Day 1. One year later, let’s grade his results.

My Republican colleagues must take notice:
The U.S. cannot base foreign policy on whether or not a president gets a prize.
This is pathetic.
It is petty and dangerous narcissism — behavior we might expect from a spoiled child, not the leader of a democratic nation.
